The hustle and bustle of Yuan Day lasted for more than half a month, and the shocking fireworks made people never forget them. Poems praising the Tang Dynasty by some literati and scholars have been circulated in Chang'an City.
What surprised Wu Mei was that after such a spectacular, gorgeous and glorious night, it seemed that all the literati in Chang'an City were composing poems and poems about that night, but why didn't they see any movement in the East Palace for a long time
With such a good opportunity to become famous, given Li Hong's talent, and under the circumstances that this competition was about to be regarded as a poetry competition among literati, why didn't Li Hong think of overshadowing Chang'an Shi with an excellent poem? Where is Ziwen
She believed that Li Hong had the ability and talent to compose peerless poems like the brilliant fireworks that night, but she just didn't know why there was no movement in the East Palace.
And even she secretly composed a poem based on the scene of that night. However, because Li Hong's poems had not been seen flowing out from the East Palace, Wu Mei did not publish her poems.
The time for the Spring Plowing Ceremony is getting closer and closer. What Li Chunfeng brought back from beyond the sea was not only some new crops that had never appeared in the Tang Dynasty, but also many rare treasures.
A large number of rare treasures naturally entered the palace, and Li Hong was naturally not stingy about some things that Li Chunfeng wanted to use for research, and gave them all to Li Chunfeng.
"Your Highness, His Majesty is waiting for you in Shangshu Province." Just after Li Hong sent away Li Chunfeng and others who were as skinny as wood after several years of drifting at sea, Hua Meng ran over and said hurriedly.
"What's wrong?" Li Hong felt vaguely that Father Long seemed to be causing trouble again.
"I don't know, but your majesty seems to have something to discuss with you." Hua Meng said nonchalantly. He did not dare to describe his majesty's fussing in front of the prince.
"If you don't come to the East Palace, you have to go to Shangshu Province! What does he want to do? Forget it, let's go and have a look." Li Hong stroked his clean chin. He imitated others and started to grow a beard some time ago. It always felt weird. Now he is shaving. After that, I still feel weird.
Li Hong had no idea what trouble Father Long was going to have this time. The farming ceremony was about to begin. The new crops brought back by Li Chunfeng were brought back with the soil. They have been growing on the boat this year. If he wants to It is obviously much easier to cultivate it in Datang.
So Father Long should not have anything to do with him, but what happened again? Let him go to Shangshu Province instead of coming to the East Palace.
With a lot of questions in his mind, Li Hong just stepped into the door of Shangshu Province's study. In the flash of lightning in his mind, he instantly thought of the reason why Father Long came here. But at this moment, it was too late to retreat from the door of the study. .
Li Zhi sat leisurely behind the desk, flipping through the memorials quickly, as if he was looking for something.
After hearing Hua Jixiang salute to him, Li Zhi just rolled his eyelids, and then continued to rummage on the desk seriously and selflessly.
When Li Hong walked into the study, he saw memorials thrown on the carpet. Hua Ji held several memorials in his hands. It was obvious that his picking efficiency could not keep up with his father's throwing efficiency.
Another memorial was thrown from Li Zhi's hand to Li Hong's feet. Li Hong could only sigh helplessly: "My son has met my father."
"Where is the memorial?" Li Zhi asked without raising his head and continued to search.
"What memorials? Aren't they all there?" Li Hong pretended to be dumbfounded and pointed at the thick pile of memorials left on the desk.
"Don't pretend to be stupid with me. Do you know that I'm talking about the memorial that handed the supervisor to the Sinong Temple and transferred it from the Ministry of Household Affairs to the Ministry of Works?" Li Zhi asked directly.
"Ah? I've never seen this memorial before. Could it be that the Zhongshu Ministry of Education left it unpublished, or did the Ministry of Education approve it?" Li Hong continued to say carelessly.
"Nonsense! I have asked all the servants in Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, and your Shangshu Province. This memorial is with you now. Why is it not in Shangshu Province? Where is it? Find it for me. Hua Meng , Find it for me!" Li Zhi angrily pushed the memorials in his hand, and then they fell to the ground with a clatter.
Hua Meng Nuo Nuo looked at Li Hong and then at Li Zhi, wondering how she should stand in the face of these two people.
Just when he was hesitating, he heard Li Zhi snort coldly: "What are you still doing in a daze? Find it for me quickly, otherwise I will treat you with great disrespect!"
"Find it, go and find it." Li Hong waved his hand helplessly, signaling Hua Meng to go find it.
Then he sat down opposite Li Zhi, looking at Father Long who was still angry and unwilling, and asked helplessly: "Why do you want that memorial? What are you dissatisfied with? That's all you said, why bother with it?" Sinong Temple will give it to itself."
"I'm going to give it to myself? Haha, this court now belongs to you, Li Hong. I just did this and you didn't approve it. If I don't follow the rules, will you, Li Hong, take a look?" Li Zhi is fifty years old now. As a human being, he becomes more and more like an old child, unreasonable.
Li Hong looked at the old man in front of him with a headache who was even more unreasonable than Li Ye and Li Ye. He really couldn't reason with him.
You are rushing to cultivate new species yourself, okay, can’t I promise you
After agreeing, they spent the Lantern Festival with their mother in big and small bags. Basically, everything Li Chunfeng brought back was dragged into the palace by the two of them like thieves, not even a blade of grass was spared. , all treated as treasures, planted in the castle in the air.
Moreover, Li Hong was not allowed to get close, guarding against him was like guarding against thieves.
But that’s it, I’m just not close.
But now, I don't know which nerve is wrong. The royal fertile fields around Chang'an have been prepared. They are just waiting for spring plowing to plant new species step by step.
But people also sent a memorial to Sinong Temple to build a large-scale palace near the imperial field where new species are cultivated. The euphemistic name is that the emperor and the people will work together. How can it be done without a place to live
So when Li Hong finally got the memorial from the Ministry of Industry, after looking at the passionate words on it, he put the memorial directly at the bottom. What a joke! Because farming will also build you a palace. Even if the output of new species in the land in five years is converted into cash, it will not be enough to build you a palace.
Let future generations remember the emperor and empress's achievements in benefiting the people and the country with overseas auspiciousness, so this palace must be built. Seeing this, Li Hong really wanted to build three thatched houses for them next to the fertile farmland.
But thinking that the tempers of these two people have changed drastically now, and they are often unfilial and unfaithful, so they settled the matter and did not give any reply. Unexpectedly, they went directly to Shangshu Province and asked you for a note.
"Approval quickly, hurry up." Li Zhiduo looked at the memorial in Hua Meng's hand, glanced at the memorial that was indeed his, and immediately turned around and ordered Li Hong.
Li Hong looked at the arrogant and unreasonable memorial, and could only sigh helplessly in his heart, and said in a flattering manner: "My son, I demolished the Cuiwei Palace and built it again for you. I don't want it here. It's too much." Wouldn’t it be a pity to waste such good farmland by building a palace?”
"We have a lot of land in the Tang Dynasty, but do we still care about this little land? I will build a palace that will be farmed with the people..."
"Stop it now. You are farming with the people. Have you seen the people farming the land, living in the palace, and farming the land?"
"I am the emperor, so I naturally need a palace. Can't you let me live in three thatched houses like ordinary people?" Li Zhi's eyes widened. If Li Hong couldn't give a satisfactory answer, he would scold Li Hong for being disloyal. Unfilial words will blurt out immediately.
Helpless, Li Hong had no choice but to continue to persuade him with good words, or to coax the old man back to the Daming Palace first.
"I'll do more research to see where the terrain is more suitable..."
But what Li Hong didn't expect was that this time the old man seemed determined. Pei Wanying went to the palace to see Wu Mei at night. The two of them comforted Li Zhi together, but they couldn't make him change his original mind. A palace that works together with the people.
Wu Mei looked at Li Zhi who looked like a stubborn old man. She wanted to comfort him but didn't know where to start. While sitting aside and sighing, she also understood why Li Hong hadn't come up with a poem about the Shangyuan Festival so far. Poems have been written, but with such a father on the stall, who would be in the mood to recite poems and compose poems
Naturally, Pei Wanying was even more unlikely to interrupt in front of the empress. After listening to her father scolding her husband again, she could only sit aside in silence, watching her nose, nose, and heart in a state of silence.
Pei Wanying, who returned to the East Palace, finally relieved herself of all the tension. Li Hong, who was standing by, immediately came forward and asked, have you and your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law managed the ideological work of the old man in the Daming Palace
"Father has never been like this. Why are you thinking about building another palace now? But having said that, the Tang Dynasty has a lot of money now, and building a palace is not difficult. Why don't you agree?" Pei Wanying enjoyed Li Hong's pleasure. He massaged her shoulders and murmured.
"Who knows how patient he is in cultivating new species? What if he stops working before the autumn harvest and returns to the palace? Should he continue to build the half-built palace or not? Also, there are many royal palaces now, right? , I went out with my mother in the past two years, spreading money everywhere. Needless to say, Luoyang, they also built a palace in Hangzhou, saying they wanted to have the opportunity to go out to sea... I went, and I remembered, there is this matter, and There's new trouble." Li Hong suddenly stopped putting his hands on Pei Wanying's shoulders and murmured.
Pei Wanying felt Li Hong's hand stop on her shoulder, so she immediately faced Li Hong and asked nervously: "What's wrong?"
"No, the navy from the East China Sea and Beihai Sea must go south, or go to the Japanese country to collect rent. They must not stop at the shore, otherwise my father may want to go to the Japanese country for a friendly visit." Li Hong was still frightened. said.
